Amend the amendment on page 294 of the pre-filed amendment
package to read as follows:
Amend CSSB 1, on page IX-53 by striking Article IX, Sec. 13.05
and substituting the following text:
Sec. 13.05. Funding for Acts Adopted by the Legislature.
(a) It is the intent of the Legislature that agencies and
institutions use funds appropriated by this Act for purposes and
programs as provided by this Act.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that agencies and
institutions use funds appropriated by this Act for purposes and
programs as provided by specific contingency appropriation riders
under this Act.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that agencies and
institutions implement legislation adopted by the Eighty-first
Legislature only to the extent that funds are available to the
agency or institution for that use. Nevertheless, except for the
funding of grants, this subsection does not permit an agency or
institution to fail to implement specific acts or legislation
adopted by the Eighty-first Legislature for which there is not a
specific appropriation when funding has been provided by this Act
to the agency or institution for general purposes inclusive of the
specific acts or legislation.
